Chapter Forty-Six: Misfortune! The continuation of the enclosure movement
Xuan Jianhao said: "And I heard that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong quickly became enemies during this period of time!" Li Zicheng wanted to plot Zhang Xianzhong's territory, and Zhang Xianzhong was unstable in Sichuan, and he also wanted to seize Li Zicheng's men. The two had been thinking about merging with each other before, not to mention whether it was a spy of the Manchu faction, falsely claiming it, or instigating the Sichuan people to surrender to Li Zicheng, hoping that Li Zicheng would enter Sichuan. Li Zicheng is confined to the Wuchang area, he wants to raise soldiers, he doesn't want to expand, he starves to death! This is also normal! The news I got was that Li Zicheng was going to send troops to Shudi, and Zhang Xianzhong also wanted to fight with Li Zicheng! ”
Zhang Biwu frowned and said, "Actually, I really don't want Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to go to war!" If only the two of them could work together! ”
Li Zicheng was in a trapped place, he was in a hurry to develop, it was useless to attack Nanming, and it was even more useless to attack Azig, and he could only lose his troops and lose his generals. And the situation in Sichuan is that Zhang Xianzhong can't suppress it, and the people of Sichuan either want Nanming's army to enter Sichuan, or they want Li Zicheng to enter Sichuan!
In such a situation, it has developed from a situation that Zhang Biwu could not think of.
Zhang Biwu can know what Xuan Jianhao means, that is, when Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fight, and the Manchus are even more proud, he can implement the enclosure movement to make the Manchus even more engaged, but there are many people who suffer, and many people are souls under the knife, but there is no way!
If there is another good way, Zhang Biwu doesn't want to do it, after all, this is to put the people in dire straits.
Zhang Biwu waved his hand at Xuan Jianhao, signaling that he could do so, his heart could not be calm.
When he saw that Lu Xiangsheng didn't say a word, he asked, "Nine Elders." What are you thinking? Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly. Answer: "I wonder if the people are going to suffer again!" But I can't do anything! And that's not all. I'm still thinking that Emperor Longwu was captured by the Manchus and died on a hunger strike, but it's a pity! When he was the king of Tang, he was defeated because he wanted to fight with thieves in Nanyang, and he recruited troops privately, but he was locked up in Fengyang by the emperor. But now...... Alas! It's a pity! And Bo Xiang ......"
Zhang Biwu smiled helplessly, if Zheng Zhilong hadn't surrendered to the Manchus and was still resisting, the situation would not have deteriorated to the current level. Zheng Chenggong has only one lone army. It's hard for him to resist the Qing Dynasty!
Zhang Biwu heard Boxiang and knew that Lu Xiangsheng was talking about his friend Yang Tinglin, who had been together during the battle of Jiazhuang in Julu, and Lu Xiangsheng pretended to send Yang Tinglin to Yang Sichang for help in order to save Yang Tinglin, but he was going to die in Jiazhuang and was unwilling to be wrongfully imprisoned.
Thinking of the past, Zhang Biwu really misses Yang Tinglin! I don't know if he is good now, and he also asked Lu Xiangsheng to send a letter to Yang Tinglin, hoping that Yang Tinglin can go north to Henan to help him. However, Yang Tinglin was appointed by Emperor Longwu as the secretary of the military department, so he could only serve Emperor Longwu. rejected Zhang Biwu.
If you want to invite him now, it should be okay, Zhang Biwu also thought of Yang Youlong and Chen Zilong, if you call them all, it would be better.
Zhang Biwu said: "Okay! I immediately sent someone to Jiangnan to find Yang Tinglin, if he is alive, let him come to Henan quickly! I need him! ”
Lu Xiangsheng could only nod, he also hoped that Yang Tinglin would be safe.
Sure enough, as Xuan Jianhao expected, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fought, and both of them started fighting at the junction between Huguang and Chongqing Prefecture in Shudi.
Badong and Xingshan in Guizhou, and Fengjie County in Chongqing are constantly in the midst of a scuffle. At the beginning, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had wandered around, and they had walked through Fengjie when they entered Shu, but they really didn't expect that now they are fighting here again, bringing great suffering to the local people.
Zhang Biwu was very helpless when he got the news, the two heroes can help each other in a hurry and let go of all grievances, but when everything is relieved and there is no danger, they will kill each other, which is really helpless!
All right! Since Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng want to fight, let them fight! Let the Manchu enclosure movement start strongly! Right! That's it!
Zhang Biwu thought of this, he was just about to call Xuan Jianhao to come, and Xuan Jianhao came, to report to Zhang Biwu that he wanted to implement the enclosure movement enthusiastically in the government and the opposition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Throughout Beijing, there were rumors in many places that Dolgon, because he had heeded Hanchen's slander, wanted to restrict and stop the enclosure movement, and not only that, but also returned the enclosed land to the occupiers.
The dignitaries and dignitaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not happy, and the most prominent ones were the military generals, and the generals were especially angry! They worked desperately on the battlefield to allow the Manchus to occupy Beijing, occupy North China, and sweep South China, but now they have spit out the land they have worked so hard to occupy! Of course they weren't satisfied!
No, some people in the barracks started to make trouble, and people's emotions were very unstable! Of the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only two white flags were absolutely loyal to Dolgon, and even if they were dissatisfied, they did not come out to make trouble. The other six banners were happy, and it would also give the Manchu rulers a headache.
A soldier shouted in Manchu: "We will never give up the land we have bought with our lives!" Why let those Han clothed minions want to return the land we exchanged for our lives! Wealth, land, women can only enjoy the strong! The weak can only serve the strong! ”
As soon as the soldier shouted, many people agreed: "Yes! That's right! We are in favor! We will never give up our land! The weak cannot be allowed to ride on the heads of us, the strong! If you want us to spit out our land and wealth, good! OK! It's just that you have to be better than us! We only recognize the strong! The weak are never worthy of pity! ”
The Manchu Qing Dynasty is worthy of being a nation that worships martial arts, and everything is spoken by force and force. But also, in this world, the supremacy of force is an eternal truth.
In the barracks of the Eight Banners, many people rose up to make trouble, and they were very dissatisfied! And they said that if they continued, they would no longer work hard! Anyway, I worked hard, and I couldn't get anything after the worst, so why do I still work hard?
The Manchu nobles all rose up against it, they were not allowed to stop or restrict the enclosure movement, so they didn't do it!
Both the government and the opposition are unanimously opposed, and the enclosure movement must continue, and it must be expanded! Otherwise, the soldiers will not do it, and neither will the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. For Hanchen, who advocates the cessation of the enclosure movement, he must be killed!
Dolgon had known the news for a long time, because in the enclosure movement, Dolgon had been the owner of the two white flags, and of course he had made the most of his two white flags.
The two white flags were not happy, and one after another the generals came to ask Dolgon if they really wanted to deprive them of the land they had occupied. This is not only their question, but also the common question of many people! The morale of the army is unstable! The two white flags are naturally not as fierce as the other six flags.
The two yellow flags have been delayed because of repeated requests for salaries, but compared to the two white flags, the salaries have never been broken. The complaints of the two yellow flags are greater, which is natural.
Dolgon had a headache about this, and when Da Yu'er proposed to abolish the enclosure, he felt that if he stopped it all at once, the army's morale would be unstable, and he would have to rely on the children of the Eight Banners to maintain his rule!
Who doesn't want to enjoy glory and wealth since ancient times? If you can't get anything, then what's the fight? Therefore, he suspended the enclosure of the land, and the enclosed land would not be deprived and returned to the original owner.
Now there are rumors that all the enclosed land, as well as the original land owners who were forcibly enslaved, will be free, so that the children of the Eight Banners are dissatisfied! This must be Zhang Biwu's strategy!
He had to say a word to Da Yu'er, that is, they relied on the children of the Eight Banners, not the Han and Mongolians, and only by satisfying the children of the Eight Banners could the Qing Dynasty successfully sit on the great country.
The enclosure movement must continue! Although it is important for Dolgon to compete with Zhang Biwu for the hearts of the people, it is even more important to stabilize the hearts of the children of the Eight Banners!
In order to reassure the children of the Eight Banners and let them destroy all the anti-Qing forces, what Dorgon can do is to let the enclosure movement continue, and it will come more violently! Words expressed in practical actions are far better than all words, and then a notice will be sufficient.
For people like Sonny, Suppilon, and others, Dolgon persuaded them to leave, telling them to rest assured that he would not let the enclosure stop.
Sonny, Suppilon, and the others left with peace of mind, and Dorgon's confidant Sukh Saha sent them away.
Dorgon waited for Da Yu'er's reply before he could give the order, though he had already made up his mind.
Xiao Shunzi came, and he replied to Dolgon: "Regent, the Queen Mother of Our Lady said that if you really carry out a vigorous and resolute enclosure movement to set an example, the hearts of the children of the Eight Banners can only be implemented in one or two counties!" It should not be too much, one or two counties can clearly tell the children of the Eight Banners and the princes and nobles, and no one can take away the benefits they get! After temporarily calming people's hearts, suspend the enclosure! The Queen Mother also reminded that especially the prefectures and counties close to Zhang Biwu's territory must not carry out enclosure movements! lest they drive the people from thieves! ”
Dolgon smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Da Yu'er still wants to win the hearts of the Han people!" That's why only one or two counties will be approved! The enclosure movement is to continue! This is what every Eight Banners kid is looking forward to! To make a sample, there are too few two counties alone, and as long as a bad reputation is spread, it is better to have three counties! This is also good to appease the children of the Eight Banners! I won't let the prefectures and counties close to Zhang Biwu's territory open the knife, I can still know this! ”
"Humph! Zhang Biwu, when you see the move, you make a fuss about our enclosure movement, and want to compete with us for people's hearts? Let's take a look! Just like the hearts of you Han people are not here, we have strong force, we can kill! Kill! "Dolgon's last thing is to yell out! (To be continued......)
